Dan & Laverite, you good folks are always welcome to celebrate with my family. Bring Mythbuster with you so we can blow shit up.
And if you can get your family out, Dan, we will meet up with you guys someday and clink glasses to a life of freedom.

To those who have shared words of support, my family thanks you. Today was a positive day for us.
I'm just curious why you require fanfare and applause for doing the right thing
DarkSide, how exactly do I "require" those things? Let's see...
- Yesterday was a big day for my family. I was excited and I posted about it.
- I didn't ask for anything in return.
- If not one person congratulated us, it wouldn't have changed my desire to post it.
- BUT supportive friends made encouraging comments.
- I showed my appreciation back for their kind words.
Positive social interaction is nothing new to the rest of us. Many of us cry together as well as rejoice together. But please, for the sake of learning, tell me how you think I should've broached this subject.

SBC, I just bought two Quorums the other day to stock my humidor, I have not tried them yet, in the next few weeks I will. What did you think of it?
Aw, geez, I'm the wrong person to ask - I don't have a frame of reference. My bro knows a little about cigars and seemed to enjoy it. I'd have to say it was.... mild? I dunno. It was all symbolic for me.

One interviewer, the hiring manager, said he had three opening he felt I would be perfect for and the second group (not the hiring group, but had input into the candidates) said he thought <large company out of Round Rock> would be crazy to NOT bring me on as my expertise was exactly what they were looking for.
for NVL. Hope that works out!
BTW, I ended up going with the cigar shopkeeper's suggestion of a Quorum cigar and your suggestion of a Johnny Walker Black Label. I was surprised at how much I liked the scotch. Good call.
Wait, did I go off topic? Scuse me.

DS: I don't understand your need for acknowledgement and approval
Then you don't understand human nature. Not surprising, though. That's evident in every post you make, DarkSide.
- I'm excited. My family and I are enjoying a newfound freedom. I can come out of the shadows and show my face.
- Stories of success on an exJW forum may be of benefit to others facing similar circumstances. What do you bring to the table?
- When a person achieves a small victory after a long, difficult battle, acknowledgement is appreciated by normal human beings.
DarkSide, I'm sorry you bailed the WT without getting your family out. No need to piss on those who do.

Sorry I'm late. What'd I miss?
They call the city "San Francisco," although the ENGLISH translation is "Saint Frances."
This discussion reminds me of another fictional character, Ron Burgundy.
Ron Burgundy: Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina.
Veronica Corningstone: No, there's no way that's correct.
Ron Burgundy: I'm sorry, I was trying to impress you. I don't know what it means. I'll be honest, I don't think anyone knows what it means anymore. Scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago.
Veronica Corningstone: Doesn't it mean Saint Diego?
Ron Burgundy: No. No.
Veronica Corningstone: No, that's - that's what it means. Really.
Ron Burgundy: Agree to disagree. -

Questions From Readers - October 20th, 2010
by sd-7 inwhy are jehovah's witnesses as a whole not permitted to read the elder's manual?.
on the first day of the unfermented cakes, well before his arrest and sacrificial death, jesus christ instructed his disciples on how to prepare for the passover.
when he did so, he did not provide advance, detailed instructions for all of his disciples; instead, he dispatched only two of them to find a suitable location, which he evidently had already planned with the householder.

Thanks, all. My only justifiable pride comes from those two little people and milady. Shameless, perhaps, but they aren't trophies any more than a winning lotto stub would be. Even a blind squirrel gets a nut, eh!?
If your wife is as beautiful as the three of you,
Oh, my wife is the one who made my kids beautiful! I just made (make) them ornery and loud.

You need to accept the bible for what it is and what it isn't.
I accept that...
....the bible is an ancient book written by men for the sake of controlling people based on morals of that time.
...some events, people, and places described in the bible were real.
I do not accept that ...
...it is a book of science, accurate prophecy, reliable history, or perfect morals.
...I can know what portions are reliable just from reading a certain passage to get a feeling about love, Yahweh, or Jesus.
The bible, especially the NT goes beyond that and what makes it unique is that it claims this:
Again, I don't see how we can determine with accuracy which passages are reliable based on it's own unique claims.
I rode the faith train too long. Now I need empirical evidence that at least MOST of what's written in a book is reliable before I can put faith in the rest of it for which there's no empirical evidence.
Buying things on faith seems to be the quickest way to get taken.
